It's Never Happened Before: Multilayer Actuators in Resonant Operation
Generating Ultrasonic Oscillation with Battery Power
The post explains, why this particular combination of resonant operation and low voltage is so special. Generating ultrasonic oscillation from battery power is useful for mobile measuring devices or medical devices. Atomizers for asthma therapy or so-called ultrasonic scalpels in eye surgery are good examples of this.
